Some people are really clueless. I had a neighbor who didn't realize dry leaves could burn. It would be funny if they hadn’t made a really good attempt to burn their entire lot to the ground.
He brought a noise machine because he figured it would be too quiet.
He ended up buying ear plugs because the bugs and birds were so loud at night. And he grew to hate whippoorwills.
I enjoyed that quite thoroughly.
I feed him because it's also hilarious.
Is that slang for a radio?
And that's kinda comforting. "Extremely loud" is the exception anyway.
It's when nature falls silent, or people-generated noise drowns out everything else, that's distressing (or depressing).
